Vitruvius Yachts Grace E takes 65M+ motoryacht category at 2015 ISS awards

M/YGrace E by Vitruvius Yachts has been awarded the Best Power Yacht in the 65m+category at the International Superyacht Society Design Awards 2015, which took place on the even of the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. The category featured a number of high-profile superyachts alongside Grace E, each from prestigious yards and designers; but she continued her winning streak of 2015 with another victory.

The peer-reviewed ISS Design Awards are judged by leading naval architects and designers in the industry, and this year celebrated was the competition’s 25th anniversary. The judges commented that some of Grace E’s winning factors include her efficient hull for and timeless exterior and interior styling as well as the planning and emphasis on world cruising that went into her design, keeping the environment in mind.

Veerle Battiau, Director of Vitruvius Yachts, said of winning the award: “The team is very happy that Grace E has been bestowed this honor by the ISS, bringing the tally of awards she has won to six within a year. We strongly believe that every custom yacht has to be designed around the specific layout desires as well as lifestyle choices of the owner. Once you have perfected the naval architecture, it is possible to design a beautiful, well-proportioned and balanced yacht that is efficient and comfortable both at sea and at anchor. The awards are strong motivators for us to continue to work hard in making tomorrow’s yachts even better.”

The third motor-yacht built from Philippe Briand’s designs for Vitruvius Yachts, in 2014 the73mGrace E was delivered to her owners at the Picchiotti shipyard in La Spezia. The flag ship vessel has since received widespread acclaim from the yachting community, and has been bestowed with numerous industry awards. Earlier this year, she won Best Motor Yacht Under75m and Motor Yacht of the Year categories at the World Superyacht Awards, as well as at rio of Showboats Design Awards for exterior design and styling, naval architecture and environmental protection.

Grace E was designed with innovation in mind across her five decks, not least below the water’s surface in her patented Briand Optimized Hull shape. This advanced naval architecture, combined with her diesel-electric propulsion, maximizes efficiency to provide an enviable cruising range of7,500nm. Her interior includes a dedicated wellness deck and cleverly configured guest suites that can be conjoined via moving walls.

Vitruvius Yachts has recently announced a number of new projects, including an80m yacht to be built at Turquoise Yachts, a 60m yacht to be built in Northern Europe and 105mcollaborative project with Oceanco. Although all designs for Vitruvius Yachts are unique, they follow a familiar theme and defined signature ‘look’, with specific attention to balance, efficiency and robustness in their design.
